[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urmystlkal:
My wife just got the Nexus 4 the other day and she has problems with a potion of the screen becoming distorted very often. She said it usually happens at least once everytime she is using it. It's with no particular program or doing a certain thing, just random. The phone is stock still. I attatched a picture and you can see at the bottom of the screen. It's not always the bottom, sometimes it's at the top, sometimes bottom. She said it hasn't happened in the middle of the screen (yet). Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wendellc:
Don't try to fix. Get it replaced.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honeypye:
I had the same problem, but my phone was distorted all over. I returned the original phone they sent me. When I got the new replacement phone after just a few days it acted up the same problem. I returned it to Google and never purchase the Nexus 4 again. I'm glad they gave ma a full refund minus the shipping though. Right now I'm still searching for a good reasonably price phone

Just return it and ask for full refund before your warranty runs out.

I got my replacement phone (from insurance claim) today and all three callers say that the call quality is much better than usual.

I'm wondering if I had poor call quality on my previous phone because I flash about 2 ROMS a month

or

because it was dropped a few times.

I planned on rooting and flashing Jedi Jelly today but now I'm not too sure.

If I'm being too paranoid just call me out but i want to be cautious. :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Could have been hardware or software related. The best way to get a for sure answer is to make a backup and flash a rom. If you get bad results, restore the backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jctusa7:
I also got a replacement phone today in the mail and I have noticed that the manufature date is january 2013! which means the phones are very new. Mine is made in china, its possible that the parts they are using now are the same model but maybe something is different inside. The factory probably uses whatever parts are available and i too have notice a much better gps signal indoors so maybe now the s2 has some newer guts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaMoFo:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koudies:
Thru my experience, I had echo problems on the majority of custom roms... especially jb roms. After about 5 months of flashing just about every rom, I went back to an ics rom (infamous to be exact) and have had no problems since. At one point I went back to stock unrooted and experienced no call issues and amazing battery life. Infamous has done exactly the same thing for me that's why I'm sticking to it.

Btw, I'm not knocking on any of the devs here as their work has always been greatly appreciated so hopefully I didn't offend anyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] telecom2k3:
Skyrocket-based kernels do not work well. AOSP/CM-based ROMs all have problems with SGS2 talker quality, far-end listener echo, or both. AOSP/CM kernels that use H0tcakez, kko, or ASDK kernels fix the echo problem. The SGS2 talker quality problem can be fixed by setting Phone -> Settings, "Noise Suppression" to ENABLE. After setting Noise Suppression, you may have to reboot if your ROM settings don't seem to stick. While there definitely has been progress, there is more work to be done.

poor call quality

Issue

: poor call quality (muffled, cloudy, foggy) after I flashed my phone from ICS (4.0.4) to JB (4.1 or higher). The original ROM that came with the phone had the best quality.

Attempted

:

Flashing

: ATT-SGH-I727-UCLL3-STOCK-odexed-cwm.zip :: worst quality, cm-10.0.0-skyrocket.zip :: bad quality, cm-10.1-20130221-NIGHTLY-skyrocket.zip :: bad quality, ATT-UCLF6-cwm5.zip :: OK quality, ATT-UCLI3-odexed-cwm.zip :: OK quality, I727-UCLF6-071212.zip :: worst quality. I wiped the cache, and data. I even wiped the dalvik cache. Other times I did not with the same ROM.

Radios

: I tried different Radios (UCLI3 & UCLF6) and did not notice a difference in call quality. Even with the original ROM was loaded, I flashed the Radio (UCLI3 & UCLF6) and not notice a difference. I believe the Radios are not related to the call quality. Is this true or am I missing something?

Settings

: I disabled noise suppression, in the versions that supported that feature, which made the quality better but not as good as the original. I also disabled the extra volume feature, in the versions that support that feature, and that also made the quality better but not as good as the original.

Info

: I have a Samsung S II Skyrocket (SGH-I727) and use AT&T. The signal strength seems consistent no matter the ROM is loaded.

Currently, besides my original ROM – which is the best call quality, the ATT-UCLF6-cwm5.zip & ATT-UCLI3-odexed-cwm.zip have the best call quality. Can anyone recommend an Android 4.2.x ROM that may have the best radios and/or kernel to alleviate this issue?

Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cstrips:
Great post! I was going to start flashing today but after seeing this thread I'm going to hold off until the official Jelly Bean from Koodo or Telus. I thought that all ROMs would interact with hardware in the same way! I enjoy the call quality I currently have clear and crisp. Thanks All!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darknight968:
Could it be an issue within the kernel not the radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hojoojoh:
After upping to P.A.C. 's 4.2.2 I wa told by someone (who I could hear perfectly" that they were having a hard time understanding me.

Noise Suppression was ENABLED, trying it disabled now.

Having searched around, and read this thread (thus the quotes) I've realized that advice can vary a fair bit! haha.

Well see what happens.

Not about to go back down to that old school ICS Telus is offering here in Canada. Took ages just for that and doesn't look like anything else is coming anytime soon.

EDIT: Noise Suppression was ENABLED by default. I disabled, called a friend and was told it sounded bad. RE-ENABLED and called back, was told it sounded good. Reboots in between each change/call.

Even if enabled maybe switch of, reboot, switch on and reboot?? Worth a shot anyways.

hmm I'll try this then post if working with me as well

ok the call quality is much better,I disabled the noise suppression then re-enabled like you did with reboots every time,I'll testing with other calls i hope problem solved because i love my AAMOD rom the only thing i changed was the radio from t989UVLI1 to T989UVLI4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sheldonjace:
I'm glad I searched for this thread and found people with similar issues. I rarely carry on long phone conversations, but when I do, I'd prefer the other person not have to strain to hear me. The call quality issue that I run into the most is "you sound distant/quiet" and people generally asking me to speak up when I'm already talking awkwardly loud to try and appease the issue. An iteration of this call problem has been persistent for me in every ROM/Kernel combo since 4.1.2 build bases. Heck even CM10.00 stable had problems for me. Some people say the Cerux Kernel helps but I've yet to see that ring true. I've tried the enabling/disabling noise suppression, with reboots, and still the problem exists.

I hate to switch from a solid build strictly because of call quality issues, but it is extremely annoying having to repeat myself or speak really loud for someone to hear me.

Hopefully this gets more attention and resolutions in the near future as I'd REALLY hate to go all the way back to an ICS based build. Too many new features I've grown accustomed to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dLee.2678:
idk if it was just me but my calls have always been choppy on stock rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cstrips:
Currently using Embryo 6.8, stock radio on Koodo, incoming calls are crisp and clear, no complaints on the other end, usually a landline or Rogers phone. Usually the second question I ask the receiver, do I sound clear...always yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] s1w999:
Consistent call quality complaints with 2 GS2's...

I got a second t989 thinking my phone was messed up. Rooted the second newer model and it's got the same call quality complaints. I could deal with just about any issue not working except call quality. Can't believe this isn't fixed yet.

I'm also speaking of 10.0, not 10.1.

I just don't have the stomach to flash radios and kernels etc to find a fix. Hopefully a stable 10.1 will fix the issue.

Running S2 I9100

Since in the section specific for my phone, isn't a good thread like this (didnt find it, if it exists), I'm posting here.

Got the same issue. Running CM10.1.3 on my I9100. I was trying different radio's, but no improvement in call quality.

Trying different Kernels.

On which Kernel are you? Maybe I can find one of the same developer, for my phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] vitalyx:

[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
There's stuff in the phone that just stays there, and is not in the ruu

[HTC Droid DNA] prestigious:
Do aosp rom would probably free up a ton if space?
[HTC Droid DNA] ystasino:
I wonder if new ROMs free up some space after removing all the VZW junk.
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
Definitely some additional space. I cant recall how much Sense 4+ takes up, but older versions of Sense took up quite a bit of room.

Some but I dont think a huge amount. Although VZW loves bloat, most of their included apps arent huge space hoggers from what I can tell. But still, every bit helps.
[HTC Droid DNA] BotsOne:
Smaller roms such as AOSP will free up space, but all the free space would still be in /system. When we get s-off we can make /system smaller and use that extra space in /data to make our sdcards "bigger."
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
This ^^^^ would be correct.
[HTC Droid DNA] theclueless:
why is my zip file 1gb and after i extract the contents the total size is 2gb?
[HTC Droid DNA] BotsOne:
Zipping files is a way to compress data. It takes whatever files are in the zip and searches for patterns (on a bit scale IE 1's and 0's) and wherever patterns are found in more than one place it can get rid of one of the copies and use the original twice (or however many times) thus compressing the file. I'm sure it is more complex than that, I'm not really an encryption wizard, but that should be the gist of it.

here's a good example I found on yahoo! answers of all places:

take a string of characters -

cheese and ham and more cheese

How else could this string of characters be represented? Well, we could make up a code. Notice the words "and" and "cheese" appear twice in the string, we could encode (compress) the string as follows:

b="cheese"

c="and"

to get:

b c ham c more b

If this is applied to a whole file only concentrating on frequently used code or text, the file could be made considerably smaller. This is an example of a fixed length code.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jrocker23:
Removing the bloatware doesnt make much of a difference but any extra space is better than none
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
The point is you don't get ANY extra space doing that. /system is it's own partition.
[HTC Droid DNA] [TSON]:
It's like sticking a USB drive that's filled to the brim into your laptop and then deleting everything off of it and asking why your hard drive doesn't have more space, basically. It's already sectioned off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reviz:
I really liked the SGP Flex, but it seems to be out of production.

I would like to order the XO but, what is the difference between the screen protector and the screen protector case fit?

I use a very cheap TPU cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moe747:
From what I read the case fit protector is slightly smaller than the original because often times cases wrap around the edge a bit. I would just recommend getting the normal one, it fits fine with my SGP case. Also one thing you should note is the screen protector is trimmed a bit short on the bottom, it has no effect on anything other then appearance but it really bugs me to see it like that.

But overall its a 7/10 case, its trimmed a bit short and its really easy to mark up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reviz:
Thanks.

I used to put the SGP screen protector under the tpu skin on the edge, without problems.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahsansmiles:
Hello,

Well i know our ace got serious problems with battery draining issue, anyway still a bad question may be, on any ROM my ace charges very quickly, like from 10% to 80% it takes 1-2 minutes and than 80% to 100% in less than one minutes and lasts for about 10-20 minutes with moderate usage.

Does this belongs to battery or the problem is in Charger?

I have tried STOCK/Modified ROMS. Still this persists..is there any possible outcome for this? do anyone else have the issue as mine? :confused:

And about battery,charge it to 100% while off,and then wipe battery stats,then use your phone till it shutdown and then charge it to 100%.In that way you should get better battery life and better kernel reading of battery stats. :D

Buy an original battery because the unofficial one claiming to have a capacity of 2000mah or something like that are most of the time (ever XD) fake because can't reach the peak capacity declared (can be worse than original) and lose capacity a lot faster than original one. Users on the Accessories topic complained about fake chinese batteries. Now it's your choice :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
Very strange thing going on..

First of all, I have been using TWRP for a long time, and am very familiar with it.

When I put zip files on my internal sd card, I can see them on the phone, and I can see them on my computer, but, when I am in recovery, I can NOT see them in TWRP; no matter what I do, they do not show up while in recovery..

When I put files on my external SD card, they show up fine everywhere, including in Recovery.

I have my external sd formatted for FAT, but, that should not make a difference in what shows up on my INTERNAL sd card...

Very weird, and wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

I'll post this in the TWRP thread as well...

Thank you!

EDIT: If anyone reading this has the same problem, your files in TWRP on your internal sd card are in /data/media....

My cousin gave me his phone, he has no Wifi, no BT, and possibly other issues going on.

I can not get into bootloader/recovery because the volume down does not seem to be working. Volume down + power will not get me into bootlader/recovery. When the phone turns on, I can turn up the volume but I can not turn down the volume. Could this be software related or is the button broken? I thought I ask because I have hopes that this is a result of an improper flash or something. I believe this phone is stock.

1- S-OFF

2- Root

3- change the Europian stock rom to Arabic stock rom

I know how to S-OFF from HTCDev website

I have the ICS 4.0.3 Arabic stock rom (Is there Gilly Bean?)

Now what to do? I need steps with links to details
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If you haven't already used the HTC Dev website, DON'T!!!!

Doing so will make this process MORE difficult, not less.

The HTC Dev website will not S-Off your device. It will only unlock part of the bootloader. You want the whole thing unlocked with true S-Off.

And it's easier to do it on the 1.27 HBoot than it used to be.

See this thread.

If you have already done the HTC Deve unlock, use this guide to S-Off instead...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614617

It's a little more complicated, but it's making up for the problems that HTC Dev causes.

One of these two guides will get you S-Off. Once you have that accomplished loading a new ROM is the easy part.

But one step at a time. Get S-Off and if you have questions on a new ROM install come abck and I'll help you with that.
